    So now default port for unity network is 7777, but after I have updated my Mac to Ventura this port is occupied by another default process.
    So by default 7777 could confusingly not work for beginners who tried to run server on that configuration what could be frustrated.

    What process would that be?

    Note that if you make a network game build and it crashes it can cause the OS to report the port as "being in use by another process" for some time. Check if a reboot frees the port.
